Our Only May Amelia
by Jennifer L. Holm
May Amelia Jackson is the only girl ever born on the Nasel River -- a Real Miracle, her family says. And with seven brothers, she believes it. Sometimes she even forgets she's a girl and goes fishing or tending the sheep with her brothers. But other times her family does make her feel like a Miracle -- whether they're being just plain maddening and making her stay inside when a real live murderer's on the loose, or whether they're telling her she's the only May Amelia they've got. What May thinks would be the greatest Miracle of all, though, if the baby inside her mamma's belly turned out to be a girl. Will May always be their only Miracle or will the new baby be the little sister she's been hoping for?

The Dulcimer Boy
by Tor Seidler
A weathered stranger delivers an old wicker chest to the Carbuncles' doorstep. In it they find two sleeping baby boys and a beautiful silver-stringed instrument. For the sake of appearing charitable to their neighbors, the Carbuncles take the boys in, but William and Jules are consigned to the chilly attic, and the dulcimer is locked away -- until William is old enough to play it, whereupon he discovers a natural musical talent that leads him on a bittersweet journey to self-discovery. Featuring luminous illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Brian Selznick, this haunting tale by National Book Award finalist Tor Seidler has a transcendent lyricism that soars as gracefully as William's mysterious music.
Hans Brinker
by Mary Mapes Dodge
